Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

She gripped her phone tightly with her fingers.

These comments cut like knives into my heart; what hurts most is that they are all true.

Her two younger sisters are about to pay their tuition fees, and her parents have been urging her to find a stable job recently, so it doesn't matter if she has to take a break from school.

Zhang Ruonan set this Weibo post to private.

I suddenly realized that I shouldn't have posted that kind of Weibo post, since it was related to my family, and I won't post it again in the future.

I opened the [Swordsman 4] group again.

I really want to be like Yang Chaoyue, Tian Xiwei, and Zhao Jinmai in the group, where I can jokingly send messages, accept roles, and receive pay.

Suddenly, I had an unprecedented desire for success.

It wasn't for overnight fame, but so that her younger brother wouldn't have to secretly give her money anymore.

So that my sisters can proudly say, "My older sister is a big star."

To prove to everyone that even the most despised loser can make a name for himself.

The message in the chat box wasn't sent, so I slowly deleted it.

The phone vibrates.

I received a private message from Jiang Yang containing a character contract document for "Ze Tian Ji":

[“I’ve secured you a role in *Fighter of the Destiny*. It’s a small supporting role, and we’ve skipped the audition process. The production team will pay your taxes, and after deducting the company’s share, you’ll only receive 10,000 yuan in salary. Will you sign?”]
Zhang Ruonan was stunned for a long time.

Typing with trembling hands: [“Money!”]
After sending the message, I realized I had made a typo and quickly deleted it.

He shook his hand to steady his wrist, then edited the message again: [“Sign!”]
She then posted again: "Does this character have any lines?"
A full two minutes.

Jiang Yang did not reply.

Zhang Ruonan edited the message: [“I will act well in every scene, really!”]
Jiang Yang sent a message: ["Seven scenes, three lines of dialogue. That's enough for the eye contact you showed when you acted opposite Huang Bo in 'Go Fighting!'"]
"Thank you, Jiang Yang, I will definitely do my best!"
Compared to a salary of ten thousand yuan.

What he values ​​most is the opportunity to star in "Fighter of the Destiny".

I'm able to act in the same drama as other artists in the company.

She stared at her phone screen, her fingertips trembling slightly, her lips parting slightly as she uttered a few broken syllables: "I can finally say I'm an actress with dignity... Finally, Jiang Yang has seen me."

I opened the [Swordsman 4] group again.

Zhang Ruonan calmed herself down and tapped her fingers on the keyboard: ["Wenzhou top laner Zhang Ruonan, requesting to play..."]
Pause.

Remove the words "go into battle".

Replace it with other words.

After sending a message to Zhang Ruonan, Jiang Yang chatted with Xu Xiaoou for a few minutes.

Seeing Zhang Ruonan pop up in the [Beautiful Girl Battle 4] group: ["Wenzhou top laner Zhang Ruonan, requesting to rejoin the team!"]
Jiang Yang smiled.

Edited text: [“Welcome…”]
Before the message could be sent, Zhao Jinmai replied to Zhang Ruonan's message first: [“Approved!”]
"McDonald, I'm the boss!"

"Why are you arguing with a kid? What's wrong with me acting like a big shot in your company group chat for a bit?"

Jiang Yang's lips twitched. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Zhao Jinmai.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Xu Xiaoou. The things we'd discussed over the past two days had finally come to a conclusion: [“Resource swapping isn’t out of the question. I need to see your performance and that of your company’s artists in ‘Fighter of the Destiny.’ Yang Chaoyue has passed the market test, and I have a lot of confidence in you. The main focus is on Tian Xiwei, Liu Haochun, and Zhang Ruonan; I’m really looking forward to their performances.”]
The old fox is just making empty promises.

They were usually so close they could call each other brothers, but when it came to Lemon Pictures' shares, he was more knowledgeable than anyone else, which was exactly what Jiang Yang had expected.

After all, the initial reason for approaching Xu Xiaoou was to get shares in Lemon Pictures.

If it were that easy to reach an agreement, Xu Xiaoou wouldn't have this attitude.

Jiang Yang sent a message: ["Also, my company's artists, and myself, will have priority in appearing in Lemon's projects at 30% below market price. My compositions and songs performed by my company's artists will be shared with Lemon Pictures first, and they will have priority in making cameo appearances in Lemon's film and television projects..."]
Jiang Yang received a reply from Xu Xiaoou: [“Jiang Yang, are you serious?”]
Immediately after, Xu Xiaoou sent another message: ["Your lousy company is just a joke. To be honest, compared to the artists you've signed, we're old friends. To be frank, I value your potential more. There are many new generation artists now, and I do have the idea of ​​betting on you. We've reached an agreement. 1% of the shares is both a deposit and a bargaining chip for the observation period. Don't test me anymore. Come to my company to discuss it in detail when you have time. This can't be discussed online. No matter which path you choose in the future, we'll still be friends."]
The symposium at Qinghua High School was drawing to a close.

The host took the stage: "Next is our interactive session! Students can raise their hands to ask questions, and every guest present today will participate."

The large screen switched to close-up shots of several actors on stage.

The auditorium lights dimmed, and spotlights shone on the stage.

The students below the stage whispered excitedly to each other, and many raised their phones to take pictures.

A few girls in the front row whispered and screamed, "Jiang Yang!!! Zhao Jinmai!!"

The boys in the back row peeked out and asked the staff for microphones.

Zhuang Dafei and Zhou Ye, who were near the back door, stopped chatting.

While keeping an eye on the direction of the conversation, Zhuang Dafei called over a staff member and said a few words. The staff member quietly reminded her, "Okay, when the microphone comes over in a bit, keep each question answering within three minutes. The principal hinted that there will be a leadership summary session later."

Zhuang Dafei had several questions she wanted to ask Jiang Yang.

I'm afraid I'll forget it soon.

She picked up her pen and wrote on the last blank page of her diary: [If one day I win an award for acting, and there's no applause from my parents in the audience, will it still be considered a success?]
The sentence was interrupted halfway through writing.

Zhuang Dafei stared silently at the half-line sentence, not daring to think any further.

This is also what I fear.

In the highlight moments of life, loved ones may be absent.

Zhou Ye received a notification on his phone inviting him to join the [Battle of the Girls 4] group chat, sent by Jiang Yang.

"Is this the internal group for artists signed to Jiangyang Company?"

Zhou Ye was slightly taken aback.

Jiang Yang actually let me join him even though I hadn't signed a contract yet.

This demonstrates their sincerity in signing the agreement.

I thought of the experiences of other artists in Jiangyang Company, especially Yang Chaoyue.

Look up.

The Q&A session has begun.

The first person to stand up and ask a question was a bespectacled boy. He sounded nervous and asked Huang Lei a specific question:
"Mr. Huang Lei, you played a strict father in 'A Little Reunion,' but in real life you seem very gentle. I'd like to ask, what do you think is the most important thing parents should change today?" (End of Chapter)
